    Rockin' T Meadows

    791 Five Points Road, Milner, GA 30257, USA
    • Spaces for 200 Guests
    • 1 Event Space

    THE NAME OF OUR COMPANY The name "Rockin' T Meadows" derives from our 70-foot-long front porch, which is furnished with "Rockin" chairs that allow you to relax and enjoy the beauty of cattle grazing and grass swaying in the breezes as you look out across the rolling "Meadows" and hay fields. The letter "T" is, of course, derived from the proprietors' last name, Thornton. ​LOCATION Atlanta, Macon, and the surrounding areas are all within a short drive of the Rockin' T Meadows farm. The farm is located in Milner, Georgia. John and Martha Thornton maintain a 160-acre family farm on which they raise their children. The original house on the property, which was erected in 1849, included a gambrel wooden barn, which we refurbished in order to host family gatherings and events. Unfortunately, in 2012, lightning struck the wooden barn, causing it to be completely demolished. During the summer of 2013, we constructed a new barn to accommodate our huge family and church gatherings. Many people have inquired as to whether or not we would consider hosting weddings. Our decision to commence building of our bridal and groom suites, as well as modifications to create our dance hall, was made after considerable deliberation in 2015. Since opening, we've continued to improve our facility by adding new features each season to make it something truly unique. The Rockin' T Meadows Wedding Package is an all-inclusive package that includes everything. Reserving the Rockin' T Meadows All-Inclusive Package means that you are booking your venue as well as all of your vendors at the same time. Included in the pricing are the venue, your flowers, cake, DJ, catering, officiant, wedding coordinator, liability insurance, linens, and your choice of three photographers. Additional fees may apply.. With this package, you can also include a videographer as well as our Bar Package, which includes a bartender, a security guard, ice, cocktail hour appetizers, and a host liquor license, among other things.. The All-Inclusive Packages provide you with admission to the venue on Friday and Saturday, as well as access to our inventory of decorations and other amenities.

    The Big House Museum

    2321 Vineville Ave, Macon, GA 31204, USA
    • Spaces for 300 Guests

    The Big House Museum in Macon, Georgia occupies the Tudor Revival home where members of the Allman Brothers Band lived together from 1970 to 1973. During those years, the house on Vineville Avenue became the creative and communal center of a band whose sound helped define Southern rock — a legacy the museum now preserves through memorabilia, instruments, photographs, and rotating exhibits drawn from that era. Macon itself carries deep musical significance: alongside Motown's Detroit and Memphis, it was recognized as one of the country's premier recording centers, and the Allman Brothers were central to that story. The museum sets their history within that broader context, drawing on the city's connections to Little Richard, Otis Redding, Capricorn Records, and the scene that grew up around them. The venue is available for private event rentals Thursday through Sunday. Each rental includes use of the Charles H. Jones Pavilion and access to the museum, offering guests an evening inside one of American rock music's most storied addresses.

Of course, they had no idea it was going to be a studio when they built it. They believed they'd constructed a plant that would turn raw cotton into fire-resistant garments. And they did so for a total of 84 years. After that, there were a few years of hand-wringing, followed by a few years of neglect and abandonment. They finally handed it up to Jason Ivany in 2007.

    It all started about six decades ago, when a young couple bought a piece of acreage deep in the Northeast Georgia Mountains. Cecil and Juanita Crumley decided to make their home there with unwavering confidence. They built a home and started a dairy farm on the property, where they raised their six children with love. Cecil and Juanita remained hopeful throughout their lives that their farm would be blessed with both rain and sunlight, allowing them to reap a bountiful harvest. There were good years and hard years, but their faith in each other and their love for one another never wavered. The parents chose to give a portion of the land to their children several years later out of love. The Venue at CeNita and CeNita Vineyards, Winery & Tasting Room are now located on that property. The spectacular event site was a labor of love for the Crumley children and their family, who wished to celebrate their hardworking and dedicated parents' legacy.
